Uber Expands Grocery Delivery

Specialty Food Association

On-demand and scheduled grocery delivery is now available to Uber and Uber Eats customers in over 400 cities across the U.S., including San Francisco, New York City, and Washington D.C. This marks Uber’s first major grocery expansion in the U.S., more than doubling the availability of the offering this week, said the company.

This expansion includes a 1,200-store partnership with the Albertsons Companies, Inc., including banners Albertsons, Safeway, Jewel-Osco, ACME, Tom Thumb, and Randalls.

“This past year has been one of incredible growth for grocery delivery,” said Raj Beri, Uber’s global head of grocery and new verticals, in a statement. “Today nearly three million consumers order groceries and other essentials each month through Uber and we’re just getting started. By adding thousands of beloved grocers to our selection this year, we are fast-tracking our efforts to help Americans get everything they need from their favorite supermarket, delivered to their doorsteps.”
